1H, 13C, and 73Ge NMR spectral analysis of substituted aryltrimethylgermanes

NMR chemical shifts of 1H, 13C, and 73Ge are reported for a series of monosubstituted aromatic trimethylgermanes of the type XC6H4Ge(CH3)3; X = p-N(CH3)2, p-OCH3, p-OC2H5, p-C(CH3)3, p-Si(CH3)3, p-Ge(CH3)3, p-Sn(CH3)3, p-CH3, m-CH3, -H, m-OCH3, p-Cl, p-Br, m-F, m-CF3, p-CF3, o-OCH3, and o-CH3. The relatively narrow 73Ge resonances show a strong correlation with Hammett sigma constants, with a correlation coefficient of 0.976 and 0.876 for 73Ge chemical shifts in meta- and para-substituted derivatives, respectively. The 13C chemical shifts of the methyl carbons bonded to germanium also display a relationship, with correlation coefficients of 0.904, 0.993, and 0.911 for para-, meta- and all derivatives, respectively. Comparisons of the Hammett plots for the homologous series XC6H4M(CH3)3; M = C, Si, Ge, Sn, show that, in general, correlation coefficients decrease while slopes increase significantly down the group, presumably reflecting the corresponding increase in chemical shift range of the group 14 atom. The Hammett constant derived for the p-Ge(CH3)3 group of +0.13 compares with the NMR-derived constants of -0.12 for p-C(CH3)3, +0.14 for p-Si(CH3)3, and -0.14 for p-Sn(CH3)3. The indication of electron release by carbon and tin can be rationalized through traditional hyperconjugative arguments for carbon and by the low electronegativity and consequent inductive effect of tin. The small electron attraction suggested by the positive constants for silicon and germanium can be simply, and perhaps naively, attributed to pi-acceptor interactions with the benzene ring.     

Complete assignments of 1H and 13C NMR data for ten phenylpiperazine derivatives

Ten phenylpiperazine derivatives were designed and synthesized. The first complete assignments of (1)H and (13)C NMR chemical shifts for these phenylpiperazine derivatives were achieved by means of 1D and 2D NMR techniques, including (1)H-(1)H COSY, HSQC and HMBC spectra.     

Derivatives of pyrazinecarboxylic acid: 1H, 13C and 15N NMR spectroscopic investigations

NMR spectroscopic studies are undertaken with derivatives of 2‐pyrazinecarboxylic acid. Complete and unambiguous assignment of chemical shifts (¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁵N) and coupling constants (¹H,¹H; ¹³C,¹H; ¹⁵N,¹H) is achieved by combined application of various 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques. Unequivocal mapping of ¹³C,¹H spin coupling constants is accomplished by 2D (δ,J) long‐range INEPT spectra with selective excitation. Phenomena such as the tautomerism of 3‐hydroxy‐2‐pyrazinecarboxylic acid are discussed. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

One‐step synthesis of 6‐acetamido‐3‐(N‐(2‐(dimethylamino) ethyl) sulfamoyl) naphthalene‐1‐yl 7‐acetamido‐4‐hydroxynaphthalene‐2‐sulfonate and its characterization with 1D and 2D NMR techniques

A one‐step method was reported for the synthesis of 6‐acetamido‐3‐(N‐(2‐(dimethylamino) ethyl) sulfamoyl) naphthalene‐1‐yl 7‐acetamido‐4‐hydroxynaphthalene‐2‐sulfonate by treating 7‐acetamido‐4‐hydroxy‐2‐naphthalenesulfonyl chloride with equal moles of N, N‐dimethylethylenediamine in acetonitrile in the presence of K₂CO₃. The chemical structure of the obtained compounds was characterized by MS, FTIR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, gCOSY, TOCSY, gHSQC, and gHMBC. The chemical shift differences of ¹H and ¹³C being δ 0.04 and 0.2, respectively, were unambiguously differentiated. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The Kinetic and Mechanistic Evaluation of NMR Spectra. New analytical methods (18)

In addition to the static parameters of the chemical shifts and coupling constants, which serve as a source of knowledge for molecular structure and stereochemistry, an NMR spectrum can frequently furnish dynamic quantities characterizing relaxation and exchange phenomena. The information about nuclear switching processes has proved to be particularly useful in practice for the detection of internal molecular motions and for the estimation or determination of the corresponding energy barriers. A plethora of studies of this nature has in the past been performed on simple proton spectra. Methodological developments of recent years have led to a significant reduction of the effort required for the quantitative dynamic evaluation of NMR spectra arising from complex spin systems or involving other nuclei. In many cases it has, moreover, become possible to extract detailed mechanistic information inaccessible by other means. The practical execution of such analyses will be explained and illustrated by a selected number of applications.     

1H and 13C spectral assignment of 4-aryl-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-2,7,7,5-oxo-quinolines 3-substituted derivatives

The 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic data for 4-aryl-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-2,7,7,5-oxo-quinoline 3-substituted derivatives have been fully assigned by the combination of one- and two dimensional experiments (DEPT, HMBC, HMQC, COSY, NOE).     

1H and 13C-NMR data of hydroxyflavone derivatives

Many hydroxyflavone derivatives have been found in nature and shown to have many biological functions. Because their function is changed by the position and number of hydroxyl group, their structural identification is a fundamental and necessary step for understanding their functions. In the present study, the complete 1H and 13C NMR spectral assignments were presented for 6 hydroxyflavones, and NMR data of additional 14 hydroxyflavone derivatives were compared with those of the 6 hydroxyflavones. In addition, the partially incorrect NMR data of two of the dihydroxyflavones whose NMR data were previously reported were corrected.     

Synthesis and complete assignment of NMR data of 20 chalcones

Chalcones, intermediates in flavonoid biosynthesis, can exhibit antibacterial, antiproliferative, and anti-inflammatory properties. Chalcones contain two benzene rings and both hydroxylated and methoxylated analogs are frequently produced by hydroxylases and O-methyltransferases in plant biosynthetic pathways. Assignments of NMR peaks in the spectra of hydroxylated and/or methoxylated chalcones can help in identifying novel chalcone derivatives isolated from natural sources by referencing these data against NMR spectra obtained from known chalcones. We report here the syntheses of 20 chalcones and complete assignments of (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra.

Combined ab initio computational and experimental multinuclear solid-state magnetic resonance study of phenylphosphonic acid

1H, 13C, 17O and 31P NMR parameters, including chemical shift tensors and quadrupolar parameters for 17O, were calculated for phenylphosphonic acid, C6H5PO(OH)2, under periodic boundary conditions. The results are in very good agreement with experimental data and permit the unambiguous assignment of all the sites present in the structure. In particular, the 17O NMR parameters of the P=O and P-OH environments were precisely determined, which should help in the characterization of the bonding mode of phosphonate molecules in hybrid solids. Moreover, the effect of intermolecular interactions on the NMR parameters were investigated by comparing the results of the calculations in the crystal and in an isolated molecule of phenylphosphonic acid.     

Complete assignments of 1H and 13C NMR data for 10 phenylethanoid glycosides

Predicted signs of reduced two-bond spin-spin coupling constants (2hKX-Y) across X-H-Y hydrogen bonds

The reduced two-bond Fermi-contact terms and the reduced spin-spin coupling constants (2h)K(X-Y) across X-H-Y hydrogen bonds for complexes stabilized by C-H-N, N-H-N, O-H-N, F-H-N, C-H-O, O-H-O, F-H-O and C-H-F hydrogen bonds are positive. The NMR Triplet Wavefunction Model (NMRTWM) indicates that the signs of the reduced FC terms and (2h)K(X-Y) are determined by excited triplet states that have an odd number of nodes intersecting the X-Y axis between X and Y, thereby leading to an antiparallel alignment of the nuclear magnetic moments of atoms X and Y.

Precise Molecular Weight Determination and Structure Characterization of End-functionalized Polymers: An NMR Approach via Combination of One-dimensional and Two-dimensional Techniques

We present here the application of one-dimensional and two-dimensional NMR techniques to characterize the structure of methoxyl end-functionalized polystyrenes (PS).The peaks in 1H-NMR spectra corresponding to main-chain,side-chain and chain-end groups are assigned by 1H-1H gCOSY,1H-13C gHSQC and gHMBC spectra.For the first time,the spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) of protons of the chain-ends is revealed to be affected more by polymer molecular weight (MW) than by the protons of the main-chains and the side-chains (almost independent from MW).As a result,a much higher delay time (d1) for chain-ends (d1 ＞ 20T1) is needed for quantitative NMR measurement when using end-group estimation method to obtain the MW of PS,which is in accordance with the value estimated by GPC.An improved method for the polymer MW determination is established,by combination of different NMR techniques to distinguish the peaks,and a large dl setting to achieve quantitative NMR analysis.     

Complete assignments of 1H and 13C NMR data for seven arylnaphthalide lignans from Justicia procumbens

Three new arylnaphthalide lignans named 6'-hydroxy justicidin A (1), 6'-hydroxy justicidin B (2) and 6'-hydroxy justicidin C (3) have been isolated from the whole plant of Justicia procumbens, together with four known ones, neojusticin A (4), chinensinaphthol methyl ester (5), isodiphyllin (6) and taiwanin C (7). The complete assignments of 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts for the new lignans and the 13C NMR chemical shifts for the known lignans were obtained for the first time by means of 2D NMR techniques, including HSQC and HMBC.

Flemiphilippinins E and F were identified as 5,4'-dihydroxy-8-(3,3-dimethylallyl)-6',6'-dimethyl-5'-(1,1-dimethylallyl) pyrano(2',3':7,6)isoflavone and 5,4'-dihydroxy-4',4',5'-trimethyl-4',5'-dihydrofurano(2',3':7,8) isoflavone, respectively, by a combination of HR-EI-MS, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, HMQC, HMBC, and NOESY spectra.     

Quantitative determination of aliphatic hydrocarbon compounds by 2D NMR

Quantitative analysis of complex mixtures by NMR is often hampered by heavily overlapping signals in 1D ¹H or ¹³C spectra. To resolve the overlap problem, we have been looking at the possibilities of using heteronuclear correlated 2D NMR methods for quantification. In this work, we applied 2D INEPT to analyze mixtures of tetradecane and squalane, which represent typical substructures of lube oil fractions. The factors affecting correlation peak volumes, namely the polarization transfer delays within pulse sequence, multiplicity of CH_n group and the magnitude of ¹J_{(C, H)} couplings were taken into account by product operator formalism calculations. The results indicate that if absolute precision in quantification is not essential, the current approach can be used for the quantitative analysis of the molecular composition of complex mixtures when conventional 1D NMR methods fail.
